St. Patrick’s Day at Murphy’s

No doubt there will be much bacchanalian up and down 45th Street, down Stone Way and up into Tangletown over the next few days, what with St. Patrick’s Day coming up this Monday, March 17th.

But there’s only one Irish Pub in Wallingford and that’s Murphy’s* (1928 N 45th St), and they’ve got a full line-up, starting with the Carrigaline Celtic Band Friday night, the Tom Bourg Nine Saturday night and a full day of music on St. Patrick’s Day proper.

I have just moved to Wallingford and I am so excited to get involved in things like the St.Patricks Day event. Some people I work with have explained that this is a night for “Plastic Paddies” and I am concerned as I do not know what these are, or if I need to get them to take out for the evening. Can anyone explain what Plastic Paddies are and where I can find them on St. Patricks Day?
Thank you so much.
